Qt 1S IIICIRL FALSUM AU )RAT toNDO A, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1810. By tile Heligoland Mail; which arrived this, morn- - ing, we received German Papers to the 2d instant. They contain the intelligence which we have fo► some time expetied, that MURAT has given up his . intende I in% aiion of Sicily. We are at a loss to know how JOACHIM .will account for the abandon ment of this enterprize. His Neapilitart Majesty (who stems very anxious to rival the once-celebrated B.iRREK E in his reports of military and naval achieve ments) his for a long time past been announcing the viQories of • his flotilla ; he has published divers minute and amusing accounts of the havoc which he has made among the English gun-boats, and he has repeatedly boasted of the terror' with which he has inspired our seamen : what excuse can he then offer for not attempting the invasion of Sicily ? what reason can he a,sign for not crossing the narrow Straits of Messina, possessing, as,he did, an army gieatly superior to the British, and a navy, as he says, so uniformly ,vietorions ? We fear, however, that our curiosity will,remain. ungratified, for we are strongly inclined to . ..think • that neither the Ne.. apolitan nor the Paris,Nonitars vt ilfi favour the ,world with many comments upon this subject. We are extrenAly happy to find that our cruizers Lave been very successful in the NV) th ; no less than a t D mish ships have been captured. An order arrived some days -ago at Tonningen, for at • tachirig all American-ships in that-harbour, the same order was probably sent to the other Danish ports. A number of French Licenses have been sent to Hamburgh, Lubeck. and Bremen, by virtue of which, a certain number of vessels may sail from those ports with corn, or other German pro duce, even for England ; but it is necessary that these vessels should afterwards sail for either Dunkirk, Bourdeaux, or Nantz, with certain Specified articles on board. They are then to take in a cargo of French produce, or manufaeture, with which they must return to the Port from which they originally sailed. GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS has returned to Switzer land. How must the noble mind of that unfortu nate Prince be wounded by a contemplation of the degraded condition of his once free arid gallant sub- jeCts. LOUIS BUONAPARTE continues at Toplitz. A report was yesterday circulated, probably for stock-jabbing purposes, that the Court of Denmark bad applied to the British Commander in Chief in the B Itic, and had offered to put the Island of Zea land under our prote&ion. We can take upon our selves to stale, positively, that there is not the slightest foundation for the report. Mr.JoRN HARE POWELL, the American Secretary of. Legation, who was obliged to return, in conse quence of not having been_ permitted to land either at Calais or Boulogne, set out again last night, with dispatches from Mr. PINKNEY for General Ak3l - at Eiris. It is supposed he will now 1)1° 7 ceed via Morlaix. Dese . rtions from lhe French army in Portugal con tinue,daily—seventy arrived in one day—some -of these were Frenchmen. In Spain, too, the deser tions are frequent. A recent proclamation from General bovul his been attended with the happiest effects. It held out to the Foreigners serving under the French, protection, clothing, and liberal pay ; and numbers in consequence flocked to the standard of the Spaniards. _ We lately announced the departure of Sir HOME POPHAM, in the :Venerable, for Corunna. It is said that he is gone to prepare the way for the landing of troops in that quarter, it being the intention of Mi nisters to send an expedition to the North of Spain; with a view• to operate a diversion in favour of Lord WELLINGTON. A transport, with horses, sailed last week from Portsmouth for this destination ; and Brigadier-General WALKER will sail with'a detach ment of the 20th Dragoons for the same service, as son as the horse transports are ready. If this state ment' ,be correet, it follows that the expedition of 10,000 men, fitting out at Portsmouth, is destined for the North of Spain, and not for Lisbon. The intended destination of the expedition which we yesterday stated,to have Sailed from Cadiz, was San Lucar; hut from the violence, of the gale. on the evening of the 22d, it did not sail till, the fol lowing dai , lest the troops should not be able to etfect a landing. The enemy observing early in the morning the number of troops. that had been em barked, immediately sent from 2500 to 3000 men iron) Port Saint Mary's, by the route of Xerez, - Wliieh force was distinctly seen from the Castle of 'Sr. Sebastian. This event caused the plan of attack 'to be 'altered, and at the departure, of the ‘ last packet .from Cadiz, it 'was ascertained that the expedition had effected A landing at Ayamonte, for the purpose of at-tacking a small ,Freni h force, in the neighbour hood ; Ater which it was to proceed, in order to ef 7 4,11 a in! et ion with. a division of the army of Gun. BALLASTEROS. GERMAN PAPERS. REGGIO, AUG. 3.—The Englkh appear more ter rified than ever al our preparations: tht'y have united, between Messina and Pharo, all' the forces «Bich they have in the Tyrennean Seas.' Dining the la-t few days, we have reckoned five ships of the line, two of which carry 80 guns, and are lying at anchor even in the canal. Four brigs of war, and many frigates and corvettes, are continually sailing betweeu,Reggiu and the Pezzo. But all these grand means of defence do not assure the English 'mei chants established at ;Messina. Their inerehan dizes are sold for a mere nothing, and daily loaded vessels sail from it, in order to seek shelter in a place less exposed. Their Excellencies the Ministers of the Interior and Finance are still. at Reggio. • CopENHAGEN, AUG. 27.—We read in the Official Gazette of to-day, the following article : The Swedish Ambassador has this day notified to .our Court, agreeably to the order which he received from Orebro the 21st of this month, the unani mous election of his Serene Highness the Prince of Ponte Corso, as successor to the throne of Swe den. We last week: foresaw that the choice of th e Assembly of the States would fail upon this Prince, who during the last two years which h e has . com manded in Denmark,- has acquired by his benevo lent sentiments the esteem and gratitude of the AUGSBURG, AUG. 22. —Yesterday morning a courier passed through this city, whom Count OTTO, the French Minister at Vienna, had dis patched from thence to Paris. He had sent par ticuar orders to all the Post-tnasters to forward him at their peril with all possible expedition, just as during the last war the French couriers were ex pedi:ed., SaOCKHOLIkt, AUG. •21.—0 f the fillo,a ing letter om Orebro; many copies appear here 11l print : " OREBao, AUG. 13. 7 —Yesterday arrived here two couriers from Paris, with dispatches from Mar shal BERNADOTTE, with his pottiait, that of his lady, and of his son. • Among otter reportS it is said, that in case the Marshal should be eleled suc cessor to the Crown, he will place 8,000,000 . of francs from his own property in the Bank, to re purchase the Royal domains in Pomerania, together with all the Swedish condemned ships and cargoes in France ; the latter are estimated at 32,0300,000 of dollars. The assurance which the Marshal, accord ing to this account, is said to have given, is to pro cure us a free export Of all our'produa,s and as much communication with England as the pre,ent circum stances will permit, and our wants unavoidably re 7 quire; by which it would appear that BUONAPARTE'S affeetion for us, and his great desire of seeing the Marshal elected, is beyond any doubt. HAMBURG'', SEPT. I.—Letters from Naples state that the King was expe&ed there, the expedition against Sicily having been postponed for an unde termined time. COPENHAGEN, AUG. 2c4.—ln Norway the diit. greeable intelligence has been received from Trom ter, that 3 t Danish merchant vessels have been cap tured by the enemy's cruizers. On the 24th inst. an English convoy, composed of t 8(1 sail, passed the Belt, standing to the Northward, under protedion of two ships of the line, two fri gates, and two gun-brigs. One of the frigates had a very smart enga,:;ement with four of our gun -boats, commanded by Capt.. Lieut. HALFIt, who had suc ceeded, in cutting off souse of the Southernmost ships, Init was obliged to quit his prizes in const quence of a ship of the line bearing up in support of the frigate. TONNINGEN, AUG. 30.—Orders have been re ceived here to attach all 'American ships found io this harbour. In pursuance of his Danish Majesty's orders, a stria embargo has been laid on all shipping in the Western ports of the Duchies and on the Elbe. • . . DRESDES, AvG. 27.—The Count of St. Lau (Li- . devant-King of Holistic) intends to spend the whole month of September in Toplitz. 4is health is meticf. ing. :REGGIO, AUG. 6.—lt is generally believed here, that the misfortune which betel the convoy com manded by Captain GATSSOLO, and more particu larly the unfortunate adion of Amantea, in conse quence of which, Captain CARRACUOLA'S convoy was lost, and along with it a large colle6lion of articles of the utmost importance for the comple tion of the expedition, with all the birges destined for the cavalry, are likely to protract the intended (descent in Sicily for a' considerable time. All the troops who: are concentrated in the environs of Bagnara and Scilla, as well as in the camp near Melza, have received orders to go into cautonments in the neighbouring vil!ages, DRESDEN, AUG. 26.—Count GOTORP, 'GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS, passed through this place on hts return from Werenhurth, tie took the way . ..to Altenburg, and it is believed he return by Wcimar to S,.itzeriand. It was erroneously thought that he would stay at Werenhurth. HM3URGH, AUG.' 27.—Baron ALQUER, the appointed French Ambassador at Stockholm, pass ed through this city to-day on his way to the place of his destination. H MBUUGH, AUG. 28.—The following notice was pUbliSiwd here : " The Director of the Custom-house corpmnni cites_ to the merchants, that be has received from the French Government 20 licenses for the pat of Ham burgh, to for Lubeck, and to for Bremen. To obtain these licenses, it is requisite that the ships should be real Hamburghers, Bierneners, and Lubeckers, and sail from these harbours. The cargoes may consist of corn, flour, and other articles and produals from Germany, and may be unloaded wherever the sender thinks proper, even in England, but afterwards the said ship is to be sent to Dunkirk, Bourdeaux, or Nantes. " Tile ship may sail to any one of the said three French ports, either in ballast, with wood, hemp, or pitch, or other northern products fit for the service of the marine, or likewise with linen or hemp yarn from German States ; ,with steel, brass, bronze, satin, wire, scythes, and sickles, hogs bristles, northern skins, white-lead, and,Saxon smalts. The owner is-like wise obliged to take, in the. French port where the ship iD bound to, and under bail fur its rei urn to the Hanseatic towns, a return cargo of wines, brandies, Or French manufactured goods to the va;ue of those articles his cargo consisted of, at the day of his departure.. The ship can take no corn or flour as a return cargo. " To obtain a license, the owner must address himself in wriiimg to the Director of the Cuitow huusc, sending him a sig - bed declaration of the name of the ship, her size aliowing two thousand weight to a ton or load, and the number of the men, thc name of the Cipiain, and the name of the house which is to be bbl for the said stiip, the mime of the harbour, in Fiance, to which it is destined, and a full decla ration of all the goods, in kind and value. owner must, before the ship can le.ive tie harbour, pay to she Dnector the suns of 00 francs per tun. This being to be in force for one vo) age, but a ship may get a new one on the same condhioto, going and recut nit% is reckoned a voy:sge.ll (Signed) " EtiveL." The person apprehended at Grim,hy on Friday se'uuight, on suspicion of robbery, and who says his name is Dawkins, is supposed to be Roberts, who recently. escaped from CAdhath-fields Prison. Sonic Police Officers are gone down to ascertain the fact. The war in Spain will exhaust the coffers of &Jo- NAPAHTE more than all the wars he has ever been engaged in ; as in this, his troops are maintaii,ed at the expence of France, and in others at the expence of the nations he attacked. Thai lie fecls this bit terly, is manifested by SouLT's Proclamat!on, the aim of which is to compel the people of Spain to maintain the French armies, Accounts from Holland state, that the French have nearly ready for sea a number of privateers at Antwerp and other ports, the whole of which are manned with Danish seatnzn. THE ARTS.—Though the talents of Mr. WIND HAM are unhappily lost to the public, we have the sAtistaetion of knowing that there is such an admir able Portrait as presents an exact and spirited re presentation ot the man.—This piMure comes from the pencil of LAwaaNcE, - and is executed in his best Manner. The likenesi is exam,- 'and there is a striking and forcible expression of the acumen, saga city, and whole intelleMdal energy which charach termed the original. This picture, we trust, will be submitted to tne engraver, as it exhibts a fine por trait of a great man, and one who may be consider ed altogether as a genuine specimen ot the true British character. Last Thursday evening, as Mr. Evelin, shoe maker, in the London Road, was returning home Iron) the Borough, between eleven and twelve o'clock, three villains, in soldier's ("oaths, came up to him, and forcing him into - one of the dilapidated buildings in the. Borough Road, two of th:•in held him with a handkerchief to his [natal) ) whilst the other rifled his pockets of bi, money and watch, with which they got clear of before he could give the alarm. On Saturday last a servant of Madame Perkies, in Brook-street, Lambeth, who was going to quit her place, had her box, containing her wearing apparel and money, brought down into the ktte,ei), vt'hilst she went out to procure a person to take it to her lodging. She had not left the house marry minutes, before a woman applied for the box in her nam e , and Madame Perkies order e d it t o be detivered to t ‘ er. Suspicion, however, immediately occtieli!' , g to her,, she sent a servant after the ‘cotnati, Who . arrii , eci at Wes.minwe.r,bridge just in time to see her in a boat, with the box, going down the river: the poor girl has not beet) able to trace her further. A melancholy circumstance occurred early on Monday morning, on board the Fox . packet, on her pamsage trOm Lond,,n to Itainsgate, with passengers. The vess t el was lying off Bro.id:L.irs, waning unti. the tide flowed to enable her to get into Ramsgwe harbour, when by some means one of t..e passengers, a Mr. Campbell, Surgeon and Apothecary, of Co ventry-street, London, fell overboard, and -the tide running strong, he imtnediately drove from the.ves sel, though still floating on the surf ice of the water : a.boat was instantly put off; and he 'was taken on ward ; but notwithstand.ng he had not keen over board more than six or seven minute:, every endea vour used by some medical gentlemen, his friends, who 'Were in the yes:el, to re,tore him to file, un fortuultely proved itieffectual.
